Description

We are looking to appoint a lead for Midwifery to join the North Thames (NT) GMSA to undertake operational leadership to support the implementation of national and local transformation projects ensuring the mainstreaming of genomics in nursing activity.

Supported by the Director of Nursing/Midwifery, the roles will be part of the clinical leadership team working together to ensure delivery of the programme.

Note, this role is hosted by Chelsea and Westminster NHS trust, who will remain the substantive employer, in partnership with North Thames GMSA.


The NHS has established seven Genomic Medicine Services Alliances (GMS Alliances) to provide equitable and consistent access to genomic services across England.

The NHS GMS Alliances bring together providers to work in partnership across geographies aligned to the NHS Genomic Laboratory Hub (GLH) footprints to provide consistency with genomic testing pathways.


Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust provide services from two main hospitals, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and West Middlesex University Hospital, and a number of clinics across London and the South-East.

We have nearly 7,000 members of staff that arePROUD to Carefor nearly one million people.

Both hospitals provide full clinical services, including full maternity, emergency and children's, in addition to a range of community-based services across London, such as award-winning sexual health and HIV clinics.

We're one of the best performing Trusts in the country.

We're also one of the top trusts to work for - our staff says they're engaged, motivated, and would recommend us as a place to work and receive treatment.


Our Trust has been rated by the Care Quality Commission as 'Good' in all five of the main domains of safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led, giving an us overall rating of 'Good'.

We've also been awarded an 'Outstanding' rating for 'use of resources' by an NHS Improvement inspection.

Our facilities are some of the best in the country. We have been investing significant Capital year on year in our estate.

We have recently completed a £30m expansion of our adult and neonatal critical care facilities at Chelsea and Westminster and are planning an ambitious £60m development of an Ambulatory Diagnostics Centre at West Middlesex.
